LOUISVILLE, KY – The new 2015 Louisville Slugger® PRIME 915, SELECT 715 and OMAHA 515 performance bats are now available nationwide. Like these great bats, the reviews are powerful:

“Louisville Slugger – Best Bomb Dropper in the College World Series,” and “Prime 915 turns baseballs into satellites.” – What Pros Wear.

Louisville Sluggers “hit the ball further” than other bats in the NCAA Tournament according to justbatreviews.com. The review further revealed, “Louisville Slugger bats were the best for hitting extra base hits.”

Louisville Slugger “was more than twice as likely to hit a triple and roughly 1/4 more likely to hit a home run compared to its next closest competitor.” – justbatreviews.com

Louisville Slugger introduced the PRIME 915, SELECT 715 and OMAHA 515 during the NCAA tournament with players on 16 of the 64 teams taking these bats to the plate. Players on three of the eight teams in the College World Series® swung the black, red and white family of Louisville Slugger performance bats – bats which also put on a power display during the Major League Baseball® Junior Home Run Derby. Feedback from college hitters, elite high school players and product reviewers is the same. The 2015 Louisville Slugger performance bats provide hitters with the speed, power and balance to #owntheplate.

“It takes determination, poise, grit and tenacity to own the plate,” said Louisville Slugger VP of Marketing Kyle Schlegel. “It requires fearlessness achieved through the grind of countless hours in the cage. It takes self-reliance, dedication and humility to meticulously study opposing pitchers. And it takes a great bat. Our PRIME 915, SELECT 715 and OMAHA 515 bats give hitters the unshakeable confidence they need every time they step to the plate.”

The Select 716 is my favorite of the three, it has the biggest sweet spot, the least vibration on contact and the ball sounds the best off this bat. The weighting is also the best with this bat, slightly end loaded and you can feel the bat head whip around.
